Quimper in numbers
Quimper is the historic capital of Cornouaille, in the far west of Brittany, and one of the region's most attractive towns. Its old quarter of half-timbered houses and pedestrian streets gathers around Saint-Corentin cathedral, a Gothic building whose twin spires rise above the confluence of the Odet and the Steir. Locmaria, the oldest district, keeps its Romanesque priory church and the faience workshops that made the town's name. Each July the Festival de Cornouaille fills the streets with Breton music and dance, and the coast at Bénodet and Concarneau is a short drive south. Accommodation ranges from central hotels to guesthouses and holiday rentals.
